PDP patron Mufti Mohammed Sayeed will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the first time on February 27 after which a swearing-in ceremony is likely to be held on March 1, two months after the results for the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly polls were announced.

79-year-old Sayeed's meeting with Modi is expected to be a mere photo opportunity as all the issues between the two parties have been sorted out and a "comprehensive document" for governance has been framed.

Though March 1, considered as an 'auspicious day', is being favoured by both the parties for the swearing-in in Jammu, PDP chief spokesman Naeem Akhtar said "a final decision on oath taking will be taken only after the meeting between the PDP patron and the Prime Minister".

During the meeting, Sayeed is expected to invite Modi for the swearing-in function. This is for the first time that BJP will be part of the ruling benches in the state.
